You cultivate an online persona. This is new territory for you, but you have no idea this will become a norm, a common part of life. Inside a cramped computer lab, the first whorl of your digital thumbprint begins to form in junior high. Memories of this moment are fuzzy, but the emotion of excitement is distinct.
